Created in 2011, the Blue Sky Award seeks to enable Albertan not-for-profit organizations to realize their dream projects! To help them achieve this, Manasc Isaac will donate $10,000 of consulting time toward the creation of a conceptual design or feasibility study.* This will empower the winning organization to seek partners and funding, and determine timelines for their project.

Last year, we received over 25 entries and we can’t wait to see what projects this year will bring!

A multi-million dollar project will see a park with beautified water features, natural gardens, and historical reference to honour the Community League movement over the last 100 years.  We are seeking planners, fundraisers, gardeners, designers, consultants, project managers to join us at this very crucial planning phase.   Meeting  tomorrow February 16 - be there and bring that perfect person for this job!  We need you!
